Speculative interest in the Australian dollar strengthened in the latest reporting period, with CFTC AUD speculative net positions rising to 33.2K, up from the previous level of 26.1K. The data, updated on 13 February 2026, indicate an increase in net long exposure to the currency.
The move suggests that traders are becoming more optimistic about the Australian dollar’s prospects compared with earlier positioning. While the figures alone do not reveal the drivers behind the shift, the higher net long stance points to growing confidence or reduced bearish sentiment toward Australia’s currency in global markets. Investors and market participants will now be watching to see whether this momentum in speculative positioning continues in upcoming reports.
